Got 'er Done!



My kids are lucky to have SUCH nice teachers, so I wanted to do SOMEthing for them at the end of the school year. I saw this idea from Martha via Craftpad and decided to give it a try. It went together so easily, was fun to do, and for once I felt no need to add extra embellishment. Color + texture = happy crafter! I filled the bags with goodies (OK, maybe FILLED is an exaggeration) and sent the kids off with them for the last day of school. Mission accomplished!

  2. Thank you Colleen! I am always a little skeptical when I start a project that is SUPPOSED to be easy, but this one REALLY WAS! I had 6 bags done in a little over an hour.

  4. Thanks Allison! They were super easy. I'll let you know about the skirt. Hopefully, it will become more than just an idea in my head...

  5. What a wonderful idea! I never did anything like that for my kids's teachers when they were young. Good for you!

    What audio book did you get? I have been listening to a lot of mystery rubbish - not great , but better than television I have a list I could send you of what I have listened to , if you like. There are a few good ones in the lot.

  6. Hi Fox!
    Thanks! I'd like to check out your list. I'm not even sure what titles are available. I troll through the library's audio books usually with my littlest one grabbing away (too bad she never picks up any good ones). I just listened to a Sophie Kinsella, chick lit one - good for summer. I also picked up a mystery by Jill Churchill. I haven't read her before.

    Also, where do you get your audio books?
